Joel Berry's Takeaways: Shot Making, Leadership Void, Reset Expectations

Posted Jan 24, 2025
Joel Berry: When I looked at some of the shots in the second half against Wake Forest, I'm like, what better shot do you want? There's no better shot. That's why I say it's a personnel problem, because the floor is spaced, Elliot can get downhill whenever he wants, but there's no shooting. If you can't knock down those shots, it's hard to play this game. (Inside Carolina)
